Cosmo reviews the penultimate film in the Twilight franchise, starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner and that all important vampire-human wedding

It's the film Twifans have been waiting for. The relationship between vampire Edward Cullen and his unwillingly chaste girlfriend Bella Swan goes from teen to grown up as the sexual tension that's been building up for three films finally explodes. The couple tie the knot, head off on honeymoon and finally get down to the very human business of making luuuurve.

So. Is it all Twihards the world over hoped it would be? Do we get to see the sex scenes in all their bed-breaking glory? And what's the lowdown on Bella's wedding dress? Cosmo was invited to the FIRST UK screening and can reveal the answers to your Twi-ssential questions.

The film was everything we'd hoped and more. The wedding scene was romantic and sumptuous, Bella's dress was perfection (you'll have to go and watch it to see it, we won't spoil her Big Reveal here). Edward was dashing, Jacob was growly but not nearly naked often enough for our liking.

So down to business. The sex. Well, Edward and Bella's first night of honeymoon is heart-breakingly romantic. They get naked together as they take a dip in the moonlit waters of Isle Esme. Basically, there's a lot of heavy petting, a good eyeful of RPattz's naked torso (yum), plenty of high quality kissing but that's about your lot. The sex scenes were originally far FAR steamier but the certification board deemed it too racy for a 12 certificate so the scenes got cut to bring the rating down. Spoil sports. (If you're the person who can bring those cut scenes to our computer screens we'll be ETERNALLY grateful).

Bella makes a stunning bride but a skeletal mum-to-be. Director Ben Condon spares none of the gruesomeness when Bella becomes pregnant with her vamp-human child. The drinking blood out of a cup with a straw is kinda gross but raised a collective chuckle from the audience due to how entirely bizarre it is watching someone do something so grim using very ordinary drinking apparatus.

Kristen Stewart becomes eye-wateringly thin and the birth is pretty bloody. We won't ruin the ending by telling you at which point the film finishes. But you'll love it. All we'll say on the subject is – wow, we want a vamp-over!
